1. What is S.T.E.M.?
ANSWER:
S.T.E.M. stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. It is an interdisciplinary
approach to education that integrates these four disciplines in a cohesive learning paradigm.
S.T.E.M. education emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration,
with the aim of preparing students for careers in fields such as engineering, computer science,
medicine, and other areas that require proficiency in these disciplines. It is often seen as
essential for fostering innovation and technological advancement in society.
3. What is the common ground between science learning and technology learning?
ANSWER:
The common ground between science learning and technology learning lies in their shared
emphasis on inquiry-based problem-solving, critical thinking, practical application of
knowledge, interdisciplinary connections, and fostering creativity and innovation.

INQUIRY APPROACH
I. Objectives:
1. To understand the theories and concepts regarding the origin of Earth.
2. To explore the layers and composition of the Earth's structure.
3. To develop critical thinking skills through inquiry-based learning.
III. Procedures:
A. Preparatory Activities:
1. Drill: Quick review of previous lessons on basic geological concepts.
2. Review: Recap on the scientific method and its application in understanding Earth's structure.
3. Motivation: Engage students with visuals or short videos showcasing Earth's geological features and
the importance of understanding its origins.
B. Developmental Activities:
1. Presentation:
1.1. Setting of Standards: Discuss the learning objectives and expectations for the lesson.
2. Giving Review: Briefly review the main concepts of Earth's formation and structure.
3. Raising of Questions: Encourage students to ask questions about what they know and what they
want to learn.
4. Forming of Hypothesis: Guide students in forming hypotheses about the origin and composition of
Earth based on prior knowledge and observations.
5. Gathering Data: Provide resources such as readings, diagrams, and videos for students to gather
information about Earth's origin and structure.
6. Proving the Hypothesis: Engage students in activities such as analyzing geological maps, studying
rock samples, or conducting virtual simulations to test their hypotheses.
7. Discussion: Facilitate a class discussion to analyze findings, compare hypotheses, and evaluate
evidence supporting different theories.
C. Concluding Activities:
1. Generalization: Summarize key points and findings from the discussion, emphasizing common
themes and concepts.
2. Application: Connect the lesson to real-world examples, such as the impact of Earth's structure on
geological processes or human activities.
3. Valuing: Reflect on the significance of understanding Earth's origin and structure in various scientific
disciplines and everyday life.
IV. Evaluation:
Conduct a multiple-choice quiz assessing students' understanding of:
1. Theories of Earth's formation.
2. Layers and composition of the Earth.
3. Geological evidence supporting theories of Earth's origin and structure.
Multiple-Choice Quiz:
1. Theories of Earth's formation:
a) The Nebular Hypothesis suggests that Earth formed from a spinning disk of gas and dust. [Correct
Answer]
b) The Ptolemaic Theory proposes that Earth is the center of the universe.
c) The Heliocentric Theory states that Earth revolves around the sun.
d) The Plate Tectonics Theory explains the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates.
V. Assignment:
For the assignment, students will:
- Research and write a short essay exploring a specific aspect of Earth's origin or structure, providing
evidence to support their arguments.
- Create a visual presentation (e.g., poster, PowerPoint) highlighting key concepts learned in the lesson,
with an emphasis on the significance of Earth's structure in geological processes.
